Screw Goodwill! Designer Ximena Orozco has made pillows from old, tasteless clothing previously collecting dust. A great way to turn an ugly wool jacket into an even uglier wool pillow. Trashing clothes is a real waste and no one wants to support the broke and homeless, so this is a great way to not only avoid helping hobos but also get a pillow out of otherwise unwearable gear. I finally have a reason to get rid of my Michael Jackson... Continue reading

This interactive approach to window shopping is sure to get consumer attention. Detecting the gaze of the customer looking at objects in the window, sensors calculate gaze durations and predominantly display the most enticing of merchandise. This same technology could be used in museums and art galleries to show viewers extra material and/or tidbits of information regarding the displayed product. Put illuminating glass in a display along with some live plants and mankind is stepping in to a whole new... Continue reading

Five pieces of wood stuck together yet divided by a fissure and you call it the “stink tree?” This outlandish hippie coffee table was designed by Dylan Gold who says, “Don’t spill your drink.” My response? Don’t construct a table with a fucking crack in it. It would be like a chalkboard with a gap in the center which can’t be written on. In other words, it’s useless. Unless of course you’re so in love with trees that you would... Continue reading

The Iron Man movie was awesome and we’ve all seen the crazy fanboys dressing up in cosplay costumes. The next take on the DIY arc reactor is very Robert Downey Jr and we think that’s a good thing (these days). Remember the terrible chest piece Tony Stark had to create to keep him self alive? Making your own isn’t too tough either; you just need to stand close to some explosive projectile. Once it pierces your chest, the hard part... Continue reading

Whoever designed this watermelon-shaped bus stop is a genius. What better way to celebrate a shitty 9-to-5 commute than with a piece of delicious watermelon. Know what I hate though? When people put gashes and all kind of shit in watermelons. All you gotta do is take a slice, like this gentleman did, and eat it. Link

Yet another article of clothing to add to your superhero wardrobe. Mark McMillan has an idea for “goggle bandannas,” with removable eye pieces and breathable cushioning to provide extra comfort and convenience. Looking snazzy while riding that road warrior bike, you’ll be sure to have heads turning to see your flashy fluorescent goggle bandanna. You can even wear the goggles underneath a motorcycle helmet, but why would you want to? We all know these goggles were invented for fine parades... Continue reading

This version of a USB battery by IOGear is pretty nifty. One end works as a miniUSB plug, allowing you to easily charge your cellphone, MP3 player, digital camera or vibrator when you’re in dire need of some juice. The Gearjuice Rescue Chargers is a steal at $12. The next time you break down on the side of the road on some cold, rainy night and your cellphone doesn’t work, you’ll be wishing you had one of these. Link (via)

The above video of the classic NES game Tecmo Bowl is not rigged with any Game Genies or codes. What you see is former Raiders powerhouse Bo Jackson. Bo may have ended his career in football with a tackle that screwed up his hip, but the man of speed and strength lives on in this amazing video game. Witness the haste with which Bo moves. I think I just pitched a tent. Link

What happens when you host a 40th anniversary gallery party and invite a multi-artists collaborative? You get Psycho Buildings is what. Twisted architecture ripe with decay rules king at The Hayward Gallery in London. Above is a piece from Atelier Bow-Wow entitled Life Tunnel. Either way, hit the jump to get a good look into the world of Psycho Buildings.

We love to save the environment here at Gearfuse. Countless projects we feature involve recycled materials and this is no exception. With a little apoxy, glue and other materials, you’ll be growing pot flowers inside a light bulb in no time. Obviously, you’ll want to make sure you have a clear light bulb, so you can monitor your pride and joy every day. I also hear a little sun doesn’t hurt either. Link
